Built a stage on Capture Student Version with strobe fixtures that use two channels (S-1500/DMX):
channel 1 = strobe
channel 2 = dimmer
Initially, the strobes work correctly and flash in sync. However, when I apply a random strobe effect (preset) and then try to return to a normal synchronized strobe, the previous effect seems to remain. It’s like Capture mixes both — the random and the normal — as if the random effect never fully clears.
The only way to get the original behavior back is to restart the software. But once I use the random strobe preset again, the issue returns. So just triggering the random effect once causes the fixtures to stay in that mode.
I've double-checked the patch and fixture personalities in both Capture and grandMA2 — everything matches. Also checked the DMX output on both softwares and all seems normal, so just a visual problem maybe?
Could this be a limitation of the Student version of Capture? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
